There is nothing like the taste of fresh, local products, especially when it is in the season. Visiting the local farmers market is one of the best ways to enjoy the diversity of Wisconsin agriculture, while supporting tough -working farmers who grow our food. This guide makes it easier to know what is in Wisconsin in the season, from dainty asparagus in May to sweet corn and tomatoes in August. When you shop in the season, your food passes less miles and supports people who develop them here in our state. In addition, shopping at the farmers’ fair allows you to directly ask breeders about how your food is grown, which gives a closer connection with what is on your plate.
When you choose local, you do more than filling the basket with colorful fruits and vegetables – you invest in the Wisconsin community. Each purchase helps to support agricultural families and maintain dollars in the local economy. Regardless of whether you collect sweet corn for summer cooking or squash for a cozy autumn meal, buying products in the season makes the meal more significant. So take this seasonal guide, go to the nearest market and celebrate the rhythm of Wisconsin’s harvest throughout the summer.
